“Teaching as a means to an end - to teach measurable skills - is not teaching for liberation.” - I'm on IG, Threads, and Bluesky -@sonjacherrypaul How am I teaching for liberation? How am I creating a space for joy and freedom in all the sense of those words, for all students? #IREL20

So woke up to the news that CRT is banned as the greatest threat to Western Civilization. This is McCarthyism 101. I've often wondered what our allies would do when they came for us. Now we'll see. bitly.ws/9DEr

She carried too much weight, and for too long. We should live in an America where we only need to send condolences to everyone who knew and loved Justice Ginsburg, and not to the nation and democracy as a whole. I wish that we could simply mourn her. Alas. rol.st/3hHW8j1

A shock. A sadness. A great loss. The passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg leaves a hole in a nation already reeling. She is an American hero, in every sense. We can honor her by joining to carry forth her legacy of equality, empathy, and justice. May she Rest in Peace.

Yo I just wanna say, what white people will never experience is being a debated demographic in a presidential debate. Nobody debates white people and how to control white people or whether or not white people deserve rights!!! This is SO uncomfortable!

How fitting that votes from John Lewis’ county flip Georgia from red to blue. “The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy." — John Lewis

It should be obvious to everyone that Biden’s win in #Georgia would not have been possible without high Black turnout + Democratic support. Today there should be ZERO narratives that center white moderates as instrumental. This is a story of Black organizing and empowerment.

I don’t know what will happen in Georgia yet, but to see a black man and a millennial doing this well in a US Senate race says a lot about the hunger in the electorate for a government that reflects the fullness of the American experience.

Joy speaking the truth. Thank you @JoyAnnReid

Mitch McConnell wantonly paved the way for Trump to lead this insurrection. Rand Paul actively fanned the flames, pushing completely unfounded claims of fraud in our elections and stoking the call to overturn the votes of the American people. They both should immediately resign.

I am having a hard time swallowing my rage at all the people like McConnell who led us to this very moment, evince even an *ounce* of self-satisfied sanctimony about American democracy.

Something that has been made clear: We need to stop saying “This is not who we are” in “America.” Indeed, this is not who and what the United States should be, but denial won’t make the injustices and inhumane ideologies less so. We can’t change without truth.
